Dave you won't go wrong with the Honda Fit. We love our. Holds 10 foot lumber with ease, and fencing pickets. The lumber stuck out just a little in the rear of the car. I now wondered why I kept our Jeep so long, for hauling things. Nothing unique of new or new about the Cube. Up there in looks department with the Pontiac Aztec.

All smart Fortwo's have traction control.

Our car has stability control.

I think the Cube is so ugly, that we should force convicted shoplifters to drive the Cube as punishment!!!

I think the Nissan Cube will serve a different market niche than the Smart.

Oh lord, is that what they look like? Damn but it's ugly...

Bet they don't have a cute smile like our smarts either.
